It will be understood, of course, that each section of my improved pipe or conduit is separately constructed, concrete or other com osite material 13 being applied to or mol ed around the skeleton or frame of the section of the structure, leaving the ends of the strips or longitudinally-disposed members 4 free, so as to enable the coupling together of successive sections of the pipe or conduit in the manner just above explained. In this Way when long" lines of the pipe or conduit are to be formed it is apparent that the naked coupled portions of the strips or longitudinally-disposed members 4 of the successive skeletons or frames at the joints of the sections have applied thereto either concrete or other composite material to complete the structure.

I thus derive a pipe or conduit of the character specified which is capable of withstanding'enormous internal and external pressure and which is reinl'prccd throughout the entire length thercofin such manner as to adapt the structure for use either a culvert or drain-pipe, as well as for other purposes.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A conduit comprising sections of composition material, having i'netallie frames embedded therein, embodyingJpngitudinal membersmenstructed at one 0 their ends With slots and-provided at' their other ends withjaws having opposite slots therein, registering with said first named slots, and Wedges driven into each set of registering slots for securing said sections together.

2. A conduit comprising sections 01' composition material, having metallic structures embedded therein, said structures comprising spaced circumt'erent-ially-disposed members, and longitudinally-disp0sed members connected to the circuiniercntially-disposed members, said longitudinally-disposed mem bers having at one end a longitudinal slot, and 'at the other jaws spaced radially from each other for receiving the opposite end of the corresponding member of the preceding section, each of said jaws having a longitudinal slot, and a wedge traversing the alined slots, whereby to secure the structures together.

3. A conduit comprising sections oi composition material, having metallic l'rames embedded therein, said frames comprising longitudinal members having at one end a slot and at the other end radially-spaccd jaws each provided with a slot and adapted to receive therebetween the opposite end of the corresponding longitudinal member ol the preceding section, and wedges traversing the slots for retaining the parts in position.

In tcstimon whereof I have signed .my

name to this specification in the presence of
